Bob Ballard

I did not know that 50% of our country lies beneath the sea, we have better maps of Mars, the ocean ridge covers 23% of the world, the rift valley is 9,000 feet deep, and there are actually active volcanoes beneath the sea. Bob Ballard thinks exploring the ocean is important so people can understand and appreciate its beauty, and that most of it is still undiscovered. He is trying to explain that we are too busy trying to crack the mysteries of outer space that we don't realize we still haven't discovered everything our oceans have to offer.
